Additional quotes by Virginia Woolf

The very stone one kicks with one's boot will outlast Shakespeare.

Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists; the reality of everything.

Theirs, too, is the word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping. - Virginia Woolf
